we saw this in the hagel hearings. half the democrats know at least that the chuck hagel has no business being defense secretary but no one will speak up. everyone is putting party ahead of country and we are seeing it on foreign policy. the press took a dive and covered this up. we find out today that there is more stuff about whether or not there were agents in benghazi. hagel said israel was the problem, not iran and the middle east. >>gregg: let me put up a comment by former head of the c.e.o. bin laden unit about john brennan. he is a patchwork of deceit and suck upping to his superiors, and not a word that i could put in. we understand what he is saying there. doug, how do you handicap brennan and hagel? >> i think brennan will probably be confirmed and i believe, given what lindsay graham said today and what senator inhofe has said about hagel, there is a greater chance of a hold being put on the nomination or a filibuster. there has to be some accounting for the uncertainty of brennan and the incompetence of ha

there there are so many other reasons to hold up chuck hagel not so much so on brennan. but he has every right to do that and he is looking for more information. he has not gotten it yet and i knee because i'm the ranking member on the republican side on armed services. and we have made several requests. haven't come back and i think as a member of the committee that lindsay has every right to do that. >> as we heard during leon panetta's physica testimony toe committee he had one conversation with the president and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey that lasted a half hour during the attack and that was the only time that the president checked in with him and high temperature chairman of the joint chiefs on a personal level. are you concerned about what his level of involvement was during the whole debacle? >> i'm concerned about his level of concern on the thing. if you look at all of the things that happened in april, may, june, july, those are things that caused the red cross to cut and get out of there. the brits did the same thing. i know chri

how are you going to vote on the hagel nomination? >> we still have some more information but again that wasn't an academic discussion i was having with senator hagel. we were losing the war in 2006 and when the president came around president bush who i had been very critical of came around and sent david petraeus and the surge we succeeded in iraq. now, because of the obama administration actions afterwards we are losing and badly unraveling. the fact is if we hadn't done that more american lives would have been lost unnecessarily. so for then senator hagel to say well, he will let history be the judge. he was there and involved and i'm sure he is wrong and he knows he is wrong on the basis of the facts of what happened. >> chris: so i got to press it again. because you saw the hearing. you know his record. are you going to support him for defense secretary? >> i will see the rest of the answers to his questions but i have very grave concerns. >> chris: grave concerns. fair to say you are leaning against voting for him? >> i think t

he doesn't think chuck hagel is qualified. the choice of brennan to head cia has been particularly controversial. one employee spoke to us about his views on this. here's what he said. >> he was the chief in saudi arabia. we asked him repeatedly to acquire from the saudis information about osama bin laden and al-qaeda. the 9/11 commission has the documents. he said i'm not going to ask the saudis for this information because the questions annoy them. the bigger picture is important. he's been a deliberately deceitful in describing to the american people the kind of threat we're facing from the islamist world, from the islamic world. he said, for example, the term jihad should never be used for the people we're fighting. i really regret the senators don't seem to be more interested in the defense of america. >> it was an amazing interview. you did this this morning. our viewers should know this go ran the bin laden unit. he was at the center of the earth to get bin laden. you asked him point blank do you think brennan pulled ba
